Carpokes

I'm posting here to introduce myself since I just joined. I'm a long time Porsche owner. Bought my first Porsche, a 1998 993 C2S 27 years ago on December 29th, 1997 which is half a lifetime for me. I've added a 997.2 GT3 and 991.1 GT3 RS to the garage since then and I daily drive a 2020 Macan S which is fantastic as well. I'm happy to be a resource to anyone with questions about Porsche ownership or anything else.

Welcome, RBGUZZI! "Porsche Seller Remorse"...Boy, can I relate to that! I regret having sold ALL my previous Porsches! There is an old (apocryphal) saying in German, "Wir werden zu früh alt und zu spät schlau!" ("We grow too soon old and too late smart!") Sounds like you have quite a remarkable stable of P-cars, still! Although I am a die-hard 914 fan (as an "Entry-Level Human") and have always loved the earlier (original Porsches), I must admit the lovely Cayman-S design is a stunner! Wish I could justify one to Madam Chairperson, but... Best for the New Year!

Contemplating getting another P Car , this is the right place for you to get help for your Stuttgart Speedster lust. We will give you a zillion reasons why you need to fulfill your consuming remorse and of course you could always sell that GM product, ha. I noted your comment on the Grassroots Motorsports VW and wondering if you are also autocrossing the little beastie? We are getting more and more Trackrats on Carpokes , so I will welcome that part of your automotive psyche also!
